Sunday, February 1 View Page I bought my seeds 2097 Kisamore (2365 Wolf x 2447.1 Cutrupi) and 1776 Gunsolus (2639.4 Paton x 2731.5 Stelts) the season begins! 1300 pounds (my goal) looks realistic! Sunday, February 1 View Page I spent 5.5 months selecting the best seed! I looked back 12 generations in their background and I think the ones I got are the best. A cross of the two would be better but dosen't exist so I will make that cross and use it the next years. I will probably sell the seeds as well. Monday, February 2 View Page I am making felted giant pumpkin models this was my first one (and my favourite pumpkin from the looks) the 2907 I will be selling these as well. For all of you looking to buy some I will post the link to my website when I set it up. Monday, February 2 View Page Here is the very realistic back side.

Monday, February 2 View Page 5 cubic yards of compost waiting to be used. Monday, February 2 View Page I made the compost out of fallen leaves and plant matter. It will go into my patch in spring. Monday, February 2 View Page Sorry I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Maurice Dickinson and I am 11 years old (but I still know lots about growing pumpkins) my goal is 1300 pounds this year but I think I can exceed 2000 pounds as I am using some very advanced techniques. Tuesday, February 3 View Page Does anyone have something to deter cucumber beetles? I don't want to lose a plant to bacterial wilt. Tuesday, February 3 View Page For vine borers does wrapping the vines with mesh or something help? Or would something like merit (if that's how you spell it) be better Wednesday, February 4 View Page I wanted something to do in the winter which is long here, so I decided to start my field pumpkins from my 21.6 last year as well as start mine from 2024. I will grow them in pots at the windowsill. I will have pumpkin fruits by June. Wednesday, February 4 View Page I am also growing other plants and I have a camera set up taking pictures ove4 a 40 day period then I will have a nice time lapse.
